Move over, Dina Lohan: A new Mama Grizzly is coming to town—Sarah Palin, that is. The former Alaska governor and possible 2012 contender will be speaking at the Long Island Association, a civic and business group, next month. According to the AP, she agreed to a one hour onstage interview and the LIA refused to say how much Palin is being paid to speak.
Capital Tonight's Liz Benjamin adds, "As far as I can tell, Palin hasn’t made a public appearance since the dust-up over the Tucson tragedy, although she did post that “blood libel” video on Facebook and then made several TV appearances... The Long Island Association is New York’s largest business group. In the past, it has played host to former presidents and other national leaders. Bill Clinton spoke at the LIA’s fall luncheon last October."
